Still on a bit of a window and mirror blitz with the squirty bottle n rag in hand, I smashed a small mirror. It was one of those travelling ones, with a mirror on both sides. One of them had come out recently, and I'd just pushed it back in, but it wasn't really secure. Anyhoo, while I was holding it, giving it a rub, it fell out of my hands and onto the bathroom floor. N
Now, I'm not superstitious, unless it's a superstition that brings good luck. So I'm not paying any attention to it, apart from writing about it and thinking about it.....
Today I go to visit Kelvin, husband of Mary, who passed away on sunday. There will be friends there, and by now a lot of the paperwork will have been sorted, hopefully.
LAST NIGHTS DINNER
Ready made Cannelloni, with Cheese n Spinach
Salad a la Moi, with Feta Cheese, Little Gem Lettuce, tomatoes from garden, onion from garden in a Balsamic vinegar and Olive Oil dressing.
Little bit of Maple Walnut and ditto Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream
Hells Kitchen is back on tv, a rowdy, temper fueled show, where Gordon Ramsey shouts at contestants and upsets people. Good tv! Apart from that, there's not much else worth watching. ITV3 usually has a murder mystery on, Morse, Wycliffe, Poirot etc, so that's a good standby.
Last night I spent a lot of time on the laptop. I still have all of Mary's emails on there, so read some of them.
In one, she's talking about seeing the doctor about the drugs she has to have for her arthritis (which, in the end, killed her,) and said to the doctor,
"I might be dead by Christmas."
How poignant is that?
I'm still not weepy sad about her passing, I expect it will come out of the blue when I'm not expecting it.
The chickens are making a row, sounds like a police car siren with a mute on, like they have on trumpets. One of the chickens is still breaking an egg, so we are getting just 3 a day when that happens.
Gwen has to have ear drops for an infection, and doesn't make a fuss about it, along with her daily pain killer, which she has to have for the next 2 weeks. I must look into pet insurance. Something, with hindsight, would have saved me a lot of money.....
I have to go to the bank to get out some Euros, ready for the off on friday. As it's a long drive to Stanstead, I think we'll be driving through the night, to arrive shattered in Sardinia. I've looked at the weather, and it's hot!
Bit of a dreamy day, no sunshine, but warm. The Rayburn went out in the night and I haven't relit it yet as the house is warm. The insulation really works well. This winter will be the first with total insulation, so we'll see......
